Where do nerds go when they die?

Darksamurai · 21-April-03, 12:10 AM

There have been many rumors... but here they are...

TOP TEN PLACES A NERD/GEEK GOES WHEN HE DIES!

1. Nerdvana

2. Heaven build 2.3.87.1 (it runs Halo 7.26 like a dream!)

3. Sun Microsystems R&D department

4. 127.0.0.1

5. /usr/eternity

6. cd\

7. ./hell

8. Algebra Fields

9. Purgatory... also known as "On hold for tech support".

*10. Loop -1

*- A little "DOS" humor for ya there... cd\ means you go back to the root directory.

and don't forget 127.0.0.1 is root. (you)

wait, so... you goto, yourself when you die?

Darksamurai · 21-April-03, 02:14 AM

Cibr... it's also called "Home"... a lot of people believe they go "Home" when they die.

Also... in some philosophies... when you die, you're back at what "real life" is... so 127.0.0.1 is my interpretaton of a loopback to it.

Or, if you believe in God... and we're all part of God... we go back to "the root".

Ahhh, the meshing of technology and philosophy... gotta love it!

127.0.0.1 is actually a loopback address...so, theoretically, it's another purgatory

I still hope to run fdisk and start all over again with a fresh install.

bushh · 21-April-03, 09:39 AM

dark you are a piece of work...

Im_gumby · 21-April-03, 11:44 AM

Wouldn't our (collective) idea of purgatory be working for Dell tech support? Being forced to help those thechnophobes... It's not quite as bad as hell, but definately not heaven.

Sk8forMaple · 21-April-03, 07:24 PM

I've been a good nerd... i'm going to /sbin lol

DedEye · 21-April-03, 07:27 PM
